not know it. 

So when you pin doll

Pray try to pin

Upon a lovely big 
wax doll. 
Completely lost his

ER eyes were of the 
brightest blue; 
Her hair the fair^ 
est flax. 

Her gowns were of the lat' 
est cut; 

Her cheeks the pinkest wax. 





E told her that he 
loved her; then 
He offered heart 
and hand ; 

She shook her curls and said, 
"Dear Jap, 

1 cannot under- 
stand!

turned away. 
And sat him down 
to think, — 

While all that night, and all 
the next. 

He never slept a wink.

HE hours went by 
and still he tried 
To plan what he 
might do. 

When suddenly he cried, 
"Dear doll. 

I'll learn to talk like you!”

O straightway went 
this little Jap 
And bought himself

Though

And hurried forth

such fine blue 
clothes, 

With buttons bright 
and shining. 

And best of all, such splen--

All gay with scarlet lining.

Exactly like a

His eyes were small, and 
oh — his hair 

Had not the slightest curl!

While tears began

Was he so ugly after all? 
Had he such squinty eyes?

HEY never told him 
so at home, 

Nor laughed at 
him at all. 

There he was quite — 
yes, just as 
good 

As any other 

doll.

ND he could be a 
soldier there. 
And go off to the 
war ; 

Could fight and never, 
never think 
Of "girl dolls" any 
more!

W here no one

Why not sail back to dear

E'D just ask Mr. 
Noah, 

Who stood outside 
the ark. 

Perhaps he'd know about 
the boats 

And when one might em' 
bark.

Pv. NOAH proved 
quite kind 
And gave him the 
assistance ; 

He told him what the fare 
would be. 
Exactly what the 
distance. 









ere the sun had 
set that night, 
The Jap had 
packed his grip. 
And having said farewell to 
all. 

Was safe on board the 
ship. 



XXII. 

E reached Japan a 
happy doll, 

His parents were 
delighted 
To think that he had left a 
land 

Where folks were so be^ 
nighted ! 




XXIII. 



N that quaint land 
across the sea — 
The land of tea 
and roses — 

No flax-haired dolls now 
laugh at him. 

Nor tilt their small wax 
noses .
